For a good review of the hazards associated with foundry work and options for their control, read the 1985 NIOSH Criteria Document Recommendations for Control of Occupational Safety and Health Hazards: Foundries at
http://www.cdc.gov/Niosh/85-116.html . Also check out the excellent factsheets from the British Health and Safety Executive at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/founindx.htm . This was clipped from the 1999 NIOSH video, Caution: Foundry at Work, available at the NIOSH website and at the Internet Archives.
Well unless you work in China where they dont give a flying f#@k. Problem is the industry will just move to China or already has and exploit their workers. Profits ALWAYS come before safety.
